Before I opened the spoiler, I thought you were talking about Joker Persona and was going to complain about having that debate once more.

The price in having Joker spend so many decades without an official name that a whole different Joker decided to be born and get his own canon name

not ambitious. Just... there. Connected. Like i'm actually stepping into the shoes of a character and going on their journey, even if it's a shallow one.

so allowing infants who probably shouldn't even be playing games till they're older to see the ending is more important then making a quality piece of work. I see.

Infants is completely different from younger audiences, but ok, keep pushing your narrative.

Also non linear story telling or routes doesn’t mean bad. Every open world does this and people are like “holy **** that open world animal crossing story was wild”

or something similar.

The games clearly shown already Gamefreak has put a hell of a lot more thought and time into this then the last few gens. Also based on the leaks the story and gameplay is suppose to be top tier so why are you judging it so much when it’s not even out? How about waiting for reviews or when you try it yourself?

This might be a hot take but I really liked how BOTW handled that story dilemna.

The theme of the game is rebuilding from the tradegies of 100 years ago, the gameplay shows this by the world looking like its in the middle of recovering(with small settlements here and there and a few stables but no overly large towns and what little you do see are mostly ruins) so what better way to write that theme home by telling the events leading up to your current predicament in cutscenes depicting the past? It gives a nice counter balance to the main gameplay by going "hey, this is what the world used to look like, here's how it is now, and with the state of the world right now, we can continue rebuilding to achieve that same glory."

Tarrey Town and your house is Hateno are great further examples of this theme being explored in completely optional side missions that realistically will not affect your gameplay too much(Tarrey Town has that one person that yoh can rebuy the Hylian Shield from if it breaks but besides thay most of the merchants sell the usual wares you would find where they originally lived.)

You can have non-linear gameplay and still tell a good story in spite of that.

For some reason watching this gif made me think of only one song:


And now that I'm actually listening to it, I think this song fits with the gif a little too well

I just noticed this:
C86654D8-5AF3-45C9-A7AC-9C655724E26B.jpeg


It says Mela is the boss of the fire crew.

This implies Team Star will be scattered across the regions with groups or “crews” focused on different types, and with different leaders.

This could make for a pretty interesting and diverse evil team.

Ok, so I'll respond seriously:

Aside from like 2 games in the series, the is like next to no narrative at all. Yeah progression exists but it's just "you beat me have an HM move to the next gym and beat some baddies that have 0 bearing on the actual plot." That's it. What ScarVio has so far is par for the course

OK. But how? How can you tell a story when you can visit any part of the world in any order.

Because I can't comprehend how it can be good without having linearity. Without blocking off certain areas or challenges or abilities until you have done other things. If you can do anything in any order, how can you tell a "top tear story". That's like saying you ate a really delicious marshmallow that had been marinated in ketchup all day.

This is Pokémon, areas are 100 percent getting blocked off. Your main objectives are doable in any order. But as we can tell from the map, no way are we are able to visit the place at the center for a long time in game and probably other smaller areas as well.

Just because you can’t comprehend it doesn’t mean you have to. There’s no way to feasibly to do this right and you will have to sit and wait, and see how it fares out. That’s all anyone can do atm.

Maybe actually play an open world game before making all sorts of baseless **** up about them

but if the areas are blocked off then you can't do things in any order. They said you can do the gyms in any order but if they are blocked off then that was just a lie.

We already know gyms aren’t bleached off. We seen every gym leaders building on the map.

We know from this trailer, our job is to go out and find them, and bring them back to their gyms or victory road( but I think this is the name of the story, not where greeta Actually was) and fight them.
